Moviegoers are saying

This documentary about Amy Goodman and Democracy Now! earns passionate praise from viewers who admire her fearless journalism, from surviving the East Timor massacre to covering 9/11 ground zero (leaving her with a chronic cough to this day). While some find the dense, decades-spanning content overwhelming on poor mental health days, audiences consistently describe Goodman as 'one of the best of us' and express awe at her ability to maintain empathy after witnessing global atrocities firsthand.

Live in such a way that the movie of your life is overstuffed and too dense precisely because it also happens to be the history of four decades of documenting American capitalist imperialism. If storytelling has a healing power (I believe it does) and journalism is the…

This was probably the worst film to watch on a poor mental health day, but it was amazing to witness a sold out theater be inspired by Amy Goodman’s words and actions. There was no time for a Q&A in the theater, so she sat outside the venue for a long time after, speaking…

Amy Goodman is pretty fantastic. That’s the thesis of the doc and I support it. What an incredible career (present continuous) and experiences. Can someone please find out where her resilience and energy comes from and do they deliver?

The world doesn’t deserve people like Amy Goodman but we’re damn lucky to have her. This documentary succinctly tells her story, but rather than focusing on the biographical details, the bulk of the film is through the lens of the biggest stories she covered throughout her…

Hot Docs 2026 #9: Special Presentations (Canadian Premiere) We need more people in this world like Amy Goodman. Not only for the fact that they've been standing up for what's right, but because the kind of journalism she's put out is refreshing against a wave of corporate…
